Had some v nice compliments recently including multiple people saying they can hear The Cure, Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins, Killing Joke and Sonic Youth in our music. These are all huge influences but we hope we have our own sound too. Death On Our Side comes out on Weds 21 Jan

Please don’t use my Jewish identity to try and shut down protests that are calling for the end of a genocidal war. This conflation is what fuels antisemitism, please stop

#MusicChallenge #DavidsMonthOfMusic Song for a rainy day? This is always the answer! @thmptypg.bsky.social and their now quite old track When The Cloud Explodes. If you’ve never heard it, so give yourself time to do so. It’s a BANGER! youtu.be/fIfDlR0pt0A?...

Here are my favourite 🇬🇧 + 🇮🇪 albums of 2024 🎉🎊🍾 #MusicSky

Today’ choice for #AlbumsoftheYear2024 is Imploding by Manchester’s @thmptypg.bsky.social a DIY band who never fail to deliver. Angry, visceral, political and at times delicate, it’s worthy of everyone’s time. Buy the album, go and see them live. They’re ace.

Northern music lovers of Bluesky: We have a few gigs coming up in Manchester and Leeds. Would love to see some new (and old) faces at these! If this has made it to your time line, we’re a band called The Empty Page and we write songs for the end of the world. #altrock #newmusic #gigs

What’s the best new song you have heard recently? I’ll go first: Loud Bark by Mannequin Pussy

🎧 Music Starter Packs 🤘 Please share and recommend people & orgs we’ve missed Musicians of Note go.bsky.app/qXt5zR Record Labels go.bsky.app/3QzSLhv Music Mags/Blogs/Pods go.bsky.app/6NR8rap Music Critics go.bsky.app/F3aaNLU Music Industry go.bsky.app/K9W2Sg2

I couldn’t find a bass player who didn’t want to play too many notes so I became the simple powerful bassist I was looking for. This song was good as it was but we decided to completely remove the drums, save a few ominous toms, simplify and over amplify the bass and make it all about the vocal.

This starter pack thing is a pretty cool feature. If you're making music starter packs you could add us to ones like: - Bands to soundtrack the horror of the impending Handmaid's Tale era - Manchester bands that aren't laddish indie - New post-punk, goth, shoegaze, new wave, psych, punk, alt-rock

Since everyone is so excited about Bluesky, I thought I would reintroduce our new album, Imploding. The 10 songs cover everything from bed rot to male violence to the end of the fxxxing world. “Throbbing indie punk rock” Fresh on the Net (sotw) ⬇️

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.

Anyone else feeling like they are switching supermarket queues to the one that seems to be moving faster? Hello! We’re here for existential indie/punk music and we would like to meet others who are too. You can listen here: bit.ly/thmptypg
